Power. The new Arocs can powerfully master every driving situation. Because we have equipped it with robust and high-torque EuroVI engines, the enhanced, standard-fit Mercedes PowerShift3 automated transmission and a new, unique suspension and frame design, all as standard. All the components of the drive system are produced exclusively at Mercedes-Benz and are designed for the special requirements in construction transport. The intelligent control of the drive components, the high torque of the engines plus the extremely short shift times of Mercedes PowerShift3 ensure that there is more power available than was previously the case. For the best possible traction and good steerability the drive system, chassis, suspension and frame form a precisely coordinated working team which is optimally configured in all Arocs vehicles for the particular application in question on the road, on the construction site or in extreme terrain.
In short: the precisely coordinated combination of drive system and load-bearing construction sees to it that the tremendous engine power of the Arocs is optimally transferred to the ground and can always be used in a targeted manner.
Moving off on an incline is easier. The hill holder which is fitted as standard prevents the truck from rolling back when moving off. And the crawl function, part of the standard-specification Mercedes PowerShift3 automatic transmission, makes moving off easier

Engines that are bursting with power and skimp when it comes to consumption
In the robust Arocs engines that ooze so much power when moving off there are more than 110 years of construction experience and progressive, particularly efficient EuroVI technology included as standard. But above all there is the power you need every single day for heavy-duty applications in construction transport.
16 engine output levels. The particularly durable 6-cylinder in-line engines for the Arocs seamlessly cover all the output requirements in construction transport. For optimum application orientation they are available in the four displacement volumes 7.7l 1), 10.7l, 12.8l and 15.6l 2). The output spectrum starts at 175kW (238hp) and a maximum torque of 1000Nm, and 16 categories higher, in the top-engine version, it finds the highest-output, most powerful answer to all the requirements it will meet in construction transport: with 460kW (625hp) and an impressive maximum torque of 3000Nm. EuroVI engines. All the Arocs engines impress with their low consumption and low emissions and as standard they already meet the emissions standard EuroVI due to come into effect in 2014. But low consumption and low emissions do not rule out high power and immediate power delivery. On the contrary. The engines that provide so much power when moving off and respond immediateIy boast characteristics which develop more power and place this at the drivers disposal as early as possible. This becomes palpable in daily use because higher torques are
X-Pulse 3) injection system. The engines of the Arocs derive more power from the fuel. Among the factors responsible for this are the enhanced engine control and the innovative common-rail system with X-Pulse pressure boost which transports the fuel to the combustion chamber with an injection pressure of up to 2100bar. The result: an especially homogenous fuel/air mixture and particularly efficient combustion. And thus more power coupled with very low consumption

already available in the low engine speed range, which makes moving off all that much easier even with a heavy load. A further characteristic advantage: an inclination sensor recognises downhill driving, as a result of which upshifts are prevented. Plus the wide torque range enables the gear to be held for longer off-road. This means that fewer gear changes are necessary, reduces interruptions of tractive power and thus also relieves the burden on the clutch and transmission. Over and above this we have given the Arocs engines many further properties that pay dividends in daily use.
Powerful engine brakes. The engines for the Arocs impress in every respect. A significant role is also played here by the wear-free engine brake which is conveniently operated via the steering-column lever. The engine brake is selectable in three phases and when driving on a downhill gradient it increases safety and particularly important when driving with a full load it also increases control of the vehicle. On request the High Performance Brake is available for even more safety. Depending on the engine variant it places huge braking power of up to 475kW at the drivers disposal.

Mercedes PowerShift3. In the Arocs the enhanced Mercedes PowerShift3 automated transmission is used in conjunction with an 8-, four 12- or a 16-speed transmission as standard. Alongside the high ride comfort and the simple operation via the right-hand steering-column lever, its characteristic features include the shift times which are up to 20% shorter compared with Mercedes PowerShift2 and even up to 50% shorter compared with the Telligent automated transmission, plus its performance which has been further enhanced off-road as well as on the tarmac. With its sensitive shift sensor system Mercedes PowerShift3 ensures precise gear selection which is matched to the respective driving and load situation. This also includes the fact that overrun mode on a downhill slope is detected and the gear held. And the crawl function with the integral manoeuvring mode facilitates particularly easy moving off and precise, sensitive manoeuvring. In addition to this various driving modes and additional functions make driving in construction transport easier. For example, the rocking mode makes it easier for the vehicle to release itself independently from sludgy, marshy surfaces. The direct shifting from 1 to R without having to change to neutral
Transmission for every application. Through the electronic matching of gear ratios to engine speed and the omission of the synchronising rings in the main gearbox the gear shifts are considerably faster. The size of the transmission remains unchanged, and the extra space is used for wider gearwheels, thereby producing higher torque
Rocking mode. The rocking mode is activated at the touch of a button. By alternating between fast actuation and release of the accelerator the vehicle begins to rock this means that a vehicle stuck in a marshy substrate can be driven out of a pit under its own steam
is a further benefit. And for fast reversing such as during motorway construction up to four reverse gears with different ratios are available. Off-road and power driving programs. When purchasing the Arocs you can select the off-road 1) or power 1) driving program. Both driving programs have three driving modes: the standard mode supports a particularly economical driving style for on-road applications and the manual mode facilitates complete control of the Arocs in extreme offroad conditions. In the power mode of the power driving program the shifts are performed with an engine speed which is 100revolutions higher than in EcoRoll mode. This is automatically deactivated if no corresponding torque is called up. And the off-road mode of the off-road driving program is characterised by the fact that you constantly have this increased engine speed when the vehicle is in use. Working together with the wear-free Turbo Retarder clutch, which
is available on request and is designed for extreme loads, the Arocs boasts optimum prerequisites for powerfully mastering every driving situation with outstanding capability, no matter how difficult it might prove to be. Manual transmission. Alongside the standard-fit automated transmission the Arocs is also available on request with a manual double H shift with pneumatic shift support. In this way customers who prefer manual transmission can choose between one 9-speed and three optimally tuned 16-speed transmission systems. They all provide virtually loss-free power transmission as well as very smooth gear-changing and a high level of ride comfort.

Power transmission. In physical terms work is the result of force times distance. This simple principle is imple mented by the Arocs in impressive fashion. In other words: it transforms high torque and puts it to use with virtually no losses through the optimum coordination of all the drive and chassis components. So that you can perform your work on the construction site highly effectively. Whether you are working on surfaced or unsurfaced ground. Valuable contributions are also made here by the differential locks engageable in steps and the anti-lock braking system which is disengageable as standard helping to boost safety when driving downhill off-road, for example, as a wedge forms in front of a locking wheel and shortens the stopping distance. Incidentally the Electronic Braking System with the integral permanent brake function ensures very good power transmission when braking. Depending on the application in question the Arocs is fitted with disc or drum brakes or a combination of both. And the standard-specification hill holder provides additional safety when moving off on gradients.
All-wheel drive range. For superb traction there are three all-wheel drive variants available for selection. If the vehicle is to be used predominantly on difficult terrain for challenging manoeuvres, for example when moving off on gradients on unsurfaced ground, the Arocs is equipped with permanent all-wheel drive with an off-road gear. Where there is a requirement for high payload yet low fuel consumption, a variant with manually selectable four-wheel drive is available as an alternative. And for road-oriented vehicles which occasionally have higher traction requirements the new Hydraulic Auxiliary Drive1) is available. The special feature of this is that, instead of a transfer case, engageable wheel hub motors take care of driving the front axle. This saves weight and fuel. For the various all-wheel drive variants there is a wide range of planetary axles from which to choose. And for predominantly on-road use air-sprung hypoid axles mean low consumption, high refinement and optimum contact with the road.
1)
Torsionally flexible frame. For applications on the construction site the Arocs is equipped with the narrow, particularly torsionally flexible frame. This helps to ensure that the high power is also delivered to the ground in uneven off-road conditions and can be converted to work with virtually no losses Power | Power transmission 11
Optimised construction for optimised power trans mission. The suspension and frame construction of the Arocs ensures that the power supplied is always steered in the right direction. Any unevenness in the ground is offset as far as possible and the precise, direct steering facilitates easy manoeuvring. For the various requirements regarding traction we have developed two frames: one with a narrow frame track, which offers optimum traction on the construction site in conjunction with its torsionally flexible design. And one with a wide frame track, which brings optimum power transmission and excellent handling for on-road vehicles.

Virtually loss-free power transmission in the drive system through perfect coordination Differential lock engageable in stages plus ABS disengageable as standard on all-wheel drive models Standard-fit Electronic Braking System with integral permanent brake function, drum and/or disc brakes, hill holder Three different all-wheel drive variants Robust planetary axles for use off-road Optimised-consumption hypoid axles for use on-road Precise power transmission through new suspension and frame design with two different frame configurations: torsionally flexible configuration with steel suspension for off-road use; semi-rigid design for very good on-road handling Precise, direct, light steering Servotwin steering for applications with an increased front axle load
Servotwin steering. The hydraulic Servotwin steering with electronic steering power assistance is part of the standard equipment for 8x4 vehicles with a front axle load of more than 7.5t. This facilitates precise steering, optimum manoeuvrability and high tyre rut stability even in particularly heavy-duty applications
Inter-axle and inter-wheel differential locks. For optimum traction there are various differential locks available depending on the vehicle model. These are operated via a switch, always in the following order: inter-axle locking, locking of the driven rear axles and where installed locking of the driven front axles
ABS, disengageable. The all-wheel drive models of the Arocs are fitted with the disengageable anti-lock braking system as standard. This increases safety in heavy-duty off-road applications because, through the blocking of the wheels, a wedge of soft substrate material is formed, and this contributes to a shorter stopping distance Power | Power transmission 12
Robustness. Whether its a semitrailer tractor, rigid vehicle, concrete mixer or heavy-duty dump truck the on-road and all-wheel drive variants of the Arocs offer an optimum, particularly robust and resilient vehicle for every challenge in construction transport. All the robustness and loadability of the Arocs is already reflected in the cabs. In the durable cab bodyshell which is comprised 100% of fully galvanised sheet metal panels and to an equal extent in the athletic, powerful design. But the completely solid, high-loadability vehicle design also comes into its own where its robustness is not visible at first glance. With chassis and suspension components optimised for construction transport and two differently configured, highly stable frames the Arocs always cuts a fine figure even in difficult conditions. Co-responsible for this: the drive system designed for high loads with the standard- fit Mercedes PowerShift3 automated transmission all the components are optimally matched and characterised
by excellent reliability. And so that even extreme angles of approach/departure and breakover angles no longer spread fear and panic, we have equipped the Arocs with a further property to take to the construction site: optimised ground clearance. As you can see, the Arocs is equal to any task.
Bucket tooth look. The radiator grille designed in a bucket tooth look lends the Arocs a striking, unmistakeable face and underlines its power and robustness. Even at first glance it is clear: the Arocs is made for the construction site

Suspension variants. When it comes to the suspension, too, the Arocs makes a real difference for particularly good load-carrying capacity and suspension comfort it has a robust, durable steel suspension with weight-optimised parabolic springs as part of its standard specification on the construction site. Depending on the gross vehicle weight selected the front and rear springs are fitted with 2-, 3- or 4-leaf spring packages. For extreme applications harder spring variants plus reinforced stabilisers and spring brackets are available. For on-road use the Arocss front axle has steel-spring suspension as standard and the rear axle has air suspension. In conjunction with the wide frame the new 4-bellows air suspension supports very good road holding and high ride comfort. A lower noise level, more careful transportation of the cargo and easier loading procedures in the case of semitrailer tractors and rigid vehicles are further advantages. On request the air suspension can also be configured for higher loads.
Air suspension. For predominantly on-road applications the Arocs is equipped with an air-sprung hypoid rear axle. The Arocs thus combines advantages such as good driving dynamics and high ride comfort. On request the air suspension can also be configured for higher loads
Steel suspension. The steel suspension on the Arocs impresses in every situation with its robust, solid construction, high performance and loadability. With the weight-optimised parabolic spring packages and precisely matched shock absorbers and stabilisers you are optimally prepared for anything
15
Two application-matched frames. For predominant use on construction sites and off-road the narrow frame with a width of 744mm and a longitudinal member thickness of 8 or 9mm and made of cold formed, high-strength finegrained steel is used. This ensures high loadability and torsional flexibility even in difficult conditions. In the case of Arocs vehicles which are mainly used on the road, the frame, which is 834mm wide an increase of 90mm and which has a more rigid design with a frame thickness of 7mm or 8mm, ensures a particularly good combination of properties such as driving dynamics, torsional flexibility and load-carrying capacity.
Axle load compensation. For 8x6 and 8x8 vehicles standard-fit axle load compensation between the front axles prevents damage through overload. It also reduces the wear on the suspension mounting, steering system and tyres. Easy handling, high ride comfort and a better distribution of the braking forces are further advantages

The right frame for every application. Applications on the construction site and on the road place different requirements on the frame. This is why we have developed two for the Arocs. One with a narrow frame track, 744mm, which impresses even in extreme off-road conditions and through its high torsional flexibility and stability. And a second one with a wide frame track, 834mm, which can bring its advantages to bear fully in on-road use, but which also impresses in light-duty off-road applications at the same time
16
Extended service life. In order to meet the exacting demands of construction transport, a particularly strict benchmark was set right from the outset when developing and designing the Arocs: real life. All the drive components in the Arocs are characterised by their especially robust, durable design, high reliability and an increased service life. Engines. The new 6-cylinder in-line engines also impress where robustness and longevity are concerned. One of the ways in which the higher loadability was achieved was through design measures such as single-piece steel pistons, reinforced connecting rods and bearings plus the more rigid crankcase. Clutch. The new-generation clutch is fitted with overload protection with a warning system and in the case of vehicles with a driven axle it facilitates the transmission of torques up to 2600Nm. For the Arocs with several driven axles and for torques up to 3000Nm a dual-plate clutch is used. In addition to this the optional, wear-free Turbo Retarder clutch gives maximum loadability when moving off and manoeuvring, with particularly high gross combination weights and
torques. Whats more, it simultaneously serves as an auxiliary brake and thus ensures additional safety. Transmission. The high loadability of the transmission and gearshift is also due in part to the ceramic PCB of the enhanced transmission control, which is characterised by high temperature and vibration protection. The reduced thermal load through the optimised transmission oil cooler additionally increases loadability in daily use. Axles. Whether off-road, on the construction site or on the road the axles on the Arocs impress in every application. For use on the construction site there is the tried-andtrusted, further optimised planetary axle with an axle load of up to 16t. Where the Arocs is predominantly used on the road, it is equipped with hypoid drive axles which are designed for an axle load of up to 13t.
Durable engines. The new engines for the Arocs not only impress with their high output they also shine with their robust, durable design. Plus the wider torque curve reduces the number of shifts and thus also relieves the burden on the clutch and transmission

Robust axles for off-road applications. The robust planetary axle, manufactured from cast steel, is characterised by the high ground clearance and also by an axle load of up to 16t. As the full torque is only effective at the wheel hubs, the entire power transmission elements on these axles are subjected to much less stress even in extreme conditions. In the case of 3- and 4-axle vehicles with dual rear-axle drive, a proven through-drive axle is used in the tandem assembly and is also designed for an axle load of up to 16t
18
Better by a distance
Ground clearance is a highly sought-after commodity on the construction site the Arocs leads the way by example here.
Ground clearance. Different applications call for a different amount of ground clearance. Whether its a semitrailer tractor, rigid vehicle or dump truck the Arocs meets practically any requirements. As all Arocs vehicles are delivered to customers as standard with a higher frame and therefore with more ground clearance. All-wheel drive dump trucks, for instance, impress with their generous ground clearance even in difficult off-road terrain. And Arocs semitrailer tractors offer sufficient base height to be able to enter construction sites without incurring any damage. And for an optimised angle of approach/departure the Arocs has shorter frame overhangs. But differently offset front and rear axles available in application-matched variants also make a fundamental contribution to the high ground clearance on the Arocs. Axle offset. Depending on the planned application and chassis cab, differently offset front axles with a permissible front axle load of up to 9t are available for the Arocs. The different, particularly robust planetary axles offer equally high ground clearance. This is possible as in these axles

Ground clearance on semitrailer tractors. With the new Arocs, air-sprung road vehicles such as 4x2 semitrailer tractors are specially prepared for use in construction transport too. With a higher frame than comparable semitrailer tractors in long-distance transport, short frame overhangs and components with an improved cross-section, the Arocs offers a particularly good ratio between the vehicles centre of gravity and ground clearance
19
the main gear ratio is in the outer planetary axles and the ring gear and pinion thus takes up less space. Optimised components, optimised breakover angle. Already significantly improved, the ground clearance between the axles on the Arocs is also enhanced by the different designs of the exhaust gas outlet, compressed air distributor, batteries and tanks with a smaller cross-section. This considerably betters the breakover angle. And this in turn gives the Arocs precisely that extra amount of ground clearance you need in those decisive moments for work on the construction site to go smoothly.
Advantages at a glance
Increased frame height for high ground clearance Short frame overhangs for best-possible angle of approach/departure Front and rear axles with different axle offsets culminating in a straight axle facilitate excellent ground clearance for every application Optimised breakover angle (ground clearance between the axles) through different designs, e.g. of exhaust gas outlet, compressed air distributor and tank cross-section

Always the right answer instead of unresolved questions. The Arocs cabs
With a total of 14 variants the seven cabs for the new Arocs meet all the requirements encountered in construction transport. Through their robust build, through their high functionality and through their distinctive, powerful design which reflects the high suitability for operating profiles of the Arocs with every detail.
Cabs for all requirements. With its 2300mm wide cab variants the Arocs offers a very good overview and easy, precise handling for all the usual construction applications. This starts with the easy-access entrance and its staircaselike layout and by no means stops at the ergonomic arrangement of the controls and stowage facilities. As an option L-cabs with a width of 2500mm are also available for road and comfort-oriented applications. ClassicSpace S- and M-cabs with a width of 2300mm. The ClassicSpace S-cab offers the most compact exterior dimensions of all the Arocs cabs. Just like the other Arocs cabs it is characterised by a comfortable, practical workspace. The ClassicSpace M-cab is longer than the ClassicSpace S-cab, which means that it offers more room and stowage space, and for even more comfort it can be fitted with a folding bunk, for example. It is optionally available as a CompactSpace M-cab with a lowered roof for special bodies or haulage work.
ClassicSpace S-cab. The ClassicSpace S-cab is 2300mm wide, available with an engine tunnel height of 170mm or 320mm and is characterised by the practical, comfortable workspace as well as by the staircase-like entrance, for example, plus a very good overview and its high suitability for operating profiles
BigSpace L-cab. The characteristic features of the BigSpace L-cab with a level floor, headroom of 1.99m and width of 2500mm are great freedom of movement and plenty of stowage space. It is very well suited to applications regularly involving overnight stays

Special cab design. With the Arocs you always have at your disposal a cab which is optimally configured to the demands of construction transport. For example, with the cab width of 2300mm they offer a good all-round view which provides protection against collisions, such as when things get rather tight when manoeuvring. The fact that the cabs are manufactured from 100% fully galvanised sheet metal panels is a further impressive feature of the Arocs. Robust in every detail. One glance suffices and you know where the Arocs is at home. From the pivoting access step flexibly mounted both lengthwise and crosswise to the handrail on the roof each detail is precisely designed to meet the requirements on the construction site. That means: the greatest possible functionality paired with impressive robustness. This is clearly visible on the standard-fit, grooved exterior mirror trim and on the radiator grille with its bucket tooth look. And it is clearly tangible on the comfort cab mountings 1), which ease the burden on the driver even in the case of high loads off-road. Not forgetting the three-section bumper with steel corners. The steel corners protect the headlamps from damage.
Component protection. For high resilience the Arocs is equipped with special protection devices for particular tasks. These include, for example, the protective plate for the radiator and engine which comes as standard with steel sprung dump truck vehicles, plus the optionally available protective plate for the main tank. Also available on request are protective grilles made of steel for the front headlamps
and a bulk material cover for equipment. In short: everything to prevent unnecessary damage and thus unnecessary repair costs.
Protective plate for engine and radiator. Steel-sprung dump trucks have a protective plate to protect the radiator and engine. It can prevent damage and on request it is also available for other Arocs model variants. As an option a solid protective plate for the main tank is also available
Protective grilles for headlamps. For the front headlamps and the tail lights of the Arocs robust steel protective grilles are available as an option. They can, for example, prevent damage from stone impact. This helps to keep costs down and improve safety
23
Road construction package. A further example of the high suitability for operation profiles displayed by the Arocs: the optionally available Road construction package. With offset tail lights and reflectors, shortened flanges and a folding spray and underride guard it has all the prerequisites for use in road construction, protects against damage and renders retrofit solutions superfluous.

Ergonomic workstation. Whichever Arocs cab you climb into you are always met by a workstation that is optimally designed for the demands of construction transport. This starts with the attractive interior design, which gives a particularly pleasant sense of spaciousness, and it is displayed in the perfect workmanship of the easy-clean materials. Particular attention was also paid to ergonomics. The result: a cockpit which is precisely tailored to the requirements of the driver, with ergonomically arranged controls and stowage facilities. Multifunction steering wheel. Features which can be operated via the multifunction steering wheel include the telephone and cruise control, plus settings in the instrument cluster can be adjusted. Thanks to its large adjustment range it can be positioned virtually vertically. For easier entry and exit and more space during breaks.

As an option it is also available with high-quality velour or with robust man-made leather which is particularly easy to clean. For even more seating comfort the comfort suspension seat and the climatised suspension seat are available for the drivers and co-drivers side. The characteristic features of the comfort suspension seat, which is installed as part of the standard specification in the BigSpace L-cab, include the greater seat cushion inclination adjustment, the shoulder support and the integral seat belt height adjustment and is fitted with covers made of velour. Maximum seating comfort comes courtesy of the new climatised suspension seat, which diverts heat and moisture from the seat. The covers are made of Dinamica star a material similar to Alcantara and feature excellent climatic properties. The comfort seat and the climatised suspension seat are also optionally available with covers made of highquality leather. Massage function. The comfort and climatised suspension seats are available on request with a massage function that protects against back strain by seven air cushions being inflated and deflated one after the other. This creates a wave effect that massages the back of the driver or co-driver as it runs upwards.
Radio and navigation. For good entertainment the Arocs comes as standard with a radio, which can be conveniently operated via the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel. As an option a CD radio is also available, as is a CD radio with a Bluetooth interface. In addition to this, the Bluetooth Comfort radio navigation system is available on request. From the digital Operating Instructions right through to the truck-specific dynamic route guidance, it leaves nothing to be desired where driver support and entertainment are concerned. All the radios have a USB and an Aux-in interface for connecting external end devices such as MP3 players. For maximum music enjoyment a powerful sound system 1) with eight loudspeakers including a subwoofer is available on request.

28
Practically oriented equipment and appointments. The cabs for the Arocs meet virtually all the requirements placed upon them in construction transport. Amongst the factors which illustrate this are the practically oriented details such as the compressed-air gun and the individually extendable stowage concept. By way of example, all the stowage facilities in the cockpit are set out in an ergonomic way, particularly well designed to accommodate all the items to be stored and within ideal reach of the drivers workstation. This also applies to the cup and bottle holder, the large stowage space on the instrument support and the compartments in the centre module. In the case of cabs with a level floor two drawers provide more stowage space here. Additional stowage space is offered in the ClassicSpace M-cab, for instance, by the stowage box behind the seats, of which the one on the drivers side is also accessible from outside. Even more stowage facilities suitable for different operating profiles and room for everything that has to come on board with you all this is to be found in the ClassicSpace, StreamSpace and BigSpace L-cabs for example with the exterior stowage compartments accessible from inside and the large stowage compartments above the windscreen. For additional comfort a variety of further practical items of equipment and appointments is optionally available, for example, a refrigerator with a capacity of 25 l; or the centre seat for a second co-driver. Also available on request are a folding table integrated in the instrument support, a luggage net for the rear panel of the cab plus a CD box for up to 6 CDs.
High stowage compartment on the engine tunnel. Available on request for cabs with an engine tunnel, the high stowage box makes it easy to keep everything neat and tidy it includes an integral refuse container and can be closed with a lid. Alternatively the high stowage compartment can also be configured as a coolbox with a capacity of approximately 15l
Stowage compartment in the doors. For all those items that must always be ready to hand the practical, open stowage compartments in the doors also have space for 1.5l bottles. So a drink is always stored within safe and easy reach and remains fresh for longer, as it is protected against direct sunshine
ClassicSpace M-cab equipment. In the ClassicSpace M-cab two stowage compartments which have lids and are located behind the seats offer plenty of room for everything you should have with you on the construction site. Of particular benefit: the stowage compartment on the drivers side is also accessible from outside. Whats more, the stowage compartments on the right- and left-hand sidewall, for example, offer further stowage space. And the standard-fit clothes rail on the rear panel of the cab provides jackets and raincoats with a place of their own. As an option a centre seat can be installed on the engine tunnel for a second co-driver or for practical stowage compartments Robustness | Workstation, interior 29

Efficiency. With the Arocs, construction transport becomes more efficient than ever before. Because it saves where decisive moves can be made: where consumption is concerned. A fundamental factor here is the Mercedes PowerShift3 automated transmission, which is used as standard in the Arocs. But the high efficiency of the Arocs starts much earlier than that. With its high-torque EuroVI engines, which not only consume tangibly less fuel but also live considerably longer. Consumption-optimised auxiliary consumers, sophisticated aerodynamics and the low rolling resistance of the tyres make additional contributions towards low fuel costs. Over and above this the driver support in the form of the standard-specification FleetBoard EcoSupport and the optionally available FleetBoard driving analysis help to save fuel.
For low overall costs we have also equipped the Arocs with long, load-dependent maintenance intervals and and a repair- and maintenance-friendly design. The increased operating life of many of the components and not least the exemplary ease of body mounting also enhance the economy of the Arocs. All in all: in the case of every operating profile in construction transport the Arocs makes a decisive contribution towards the fact that you are even more efficient and successful when out on the road. Every day. And in every application in construction transport.

BlueEfficiency Power. Save fuel. Help to reduce the impact on the environment
Along with the new Arocs lots of innovative solutions which significantly reduce consumption and CO2 emissions are coming to the road. The basis for these is formed by BlueEfficiency Power from Mercedes-Benz Trucks technologies and services which help to save fuel and thus to reduce the impact on the environment.
BlueEfficiency Power. BlueEfficiency Power makes a difference wherever fuel can be saved and therefore CO2 emissions reduced. One example of this is the X-Pulse injection system 1), which ensures that fuel is combusted in a very efficient manner with low pollutant levels. In addition to this, the objective of lower consumption and fewer CO2 emissions set for the development of the new Arocs was achieved thanks to many other vehicle measures: alongside the new frugal in-line engines, the new Mercedes PowerShift3 automated transmission and the optimised aerodynamics, there is a whole array of innova tions and optimised technical solutions in the Arocs to save diesel and therefore reduce CO2 output. A further element of BlueEfficiency Power also draws on the efficiency-enhancing
effect of services. These include FleetBoard, Mercedes-Benz DriverTraining 2), plus seminars, training courses, advice and analyses. What we always aim to do here is to be on hand as your competent and reliable partner, providing you with tips relating to fuel consumption and the environment today and in the future.

Low fuel consumption. When developing the Arocs all efforts were focused on reducing fuel consumption. Particularly efficient: the new, very frugal EuroVI engines with common-rail high-pressure injection and optimised engine control. But the cooled exhaust gas recirculation, the AdBlue injection without air and the increased engine cooling capacity also contribute towards reduced consumption. Other factors which stand for low fuel costs are the standard-specification Mercedes PowerShift3 automated transmission for example with shortened shift times and fuel-saving driving programs. The transmission suitable for particular operating profiles and the wide selection of finely tuned rear axle transmissions also play a significant part in saving fuel. Consumption- optimised auxiliary consumers such as compressed air control, air compressors and the power steering pump plus the controlled water pump save fuel too. And the optionally available StreamSpace L-cab also contributes towards low consumption with its aero dynamically optimised roof shape. Equipment items available on request for a low rolling resistance include wide-base tyres 1) for the drive axle and the tyre pressure monitoring system. Whats more, the FleetBoard EcoSupport also
contributes towards reduced consumption. And the FleetBoard driving analysis facilitates an objective assessment of the driving style on the basis of a multitude of factors and helps to further reduce fuel costs tangibly and sustainably. A further opportunity to save fuel comes in the form of the engageable all-wheel drive which, in comparison to permanent all-wheel drive, is only used when required. As a third all-wheel drive variant the Hydraulic Auxiliary Drive 2) is available. This is also an engageable all-wheel drive system and, instead of a transfer case, two powerful wheel hub motors are used at the front axle. They ensure increased traction, for instance, when dump semitrailers are in use up to 30km/h. Further advantages: in contrast to conventional all-wheel drives with a transfer case, the Hydraulic Auxiliary Drive 2) saves around 300kg of unladen weight and consumes noticeably less diesel.
Effective driver support. All Arocs vehicles are equipped as standard with the FleetBoard EcoSupport. The system supports the driver by displaying tips on a consumption-reducing driving style in the instrument cluster during the journey

Mercedes PowerShift3 The enhanced, standard-fit Mercedes PowerShift3 automated transmission supports particularly high levels of ride comfort, better handling and less diesel consumption with driving programs, driving modes and additional functions suitable for different operating profiles
Sophisticated aerodynamics The striking, aerodynamically optimised design of the Arocs supports low consumption. The best example of this: the StreamSpace L-cab. For additional savings further features such as door extensions and other aerodynamic detachable body parts are available
Auxiliary consumers Optimisation of auxiliary consumers such as the water pump, air compressor and compressed air control helps to keep fuel consumption low
Hydraulic Auxiliary Drive 2) Available on request, the all-wheel drive engageable where increased traction is required contributes towards much less consumption compared with conventional all-wheel drive vehicles. Some 300kg less unladen weight represent a further benefit

Repair- and maintenance-friendly design. With the launch of the new EuroVI emissions standard considerable additional technical effort was necessary. There are many reasons why the Arocs can nevertheless be repaired and maintained particularly quickly and as inexpensively as comparable predecessor models. For example, as early as the design stage care was taken to ensure that all the components are not only especially robust but that, should the worst come to the worst, they can also be exchanged or repaired very quickly and inexpensively. Computer simulation was used in order to achieve this, and the Arocs was also tested in extreme conditions. The result: components which live longer and which also have to undergo maintenance less frequently. Take, for example, the robust, high-torque engines, the clutch, the alternator and the air filter, which is now able to perform its work for a much longer period. This contributes towards fewer costs and more efficiency in construction transport. Long, load-dependent maintenance intervals. With the Arocs maintenance intervals of up to 120,000km are no rarity. Jointly responsible for this are factors such as the
ncreased operating life of many components and parts, plus i the electronic maintenance system of the Arocs. Because it permanently monitors the engine and transmission oil, for instance, as well as the brake pads and the standardspecification particulate filter, and precisely measures wear and stress. The maintenance system indicates to the driver at an early stage when the engine oil has to be changed or the brake pads renewed. This means that the reserve power in all the fuels and lubricants and wear parts can be used to the full. Plus any maintenance work due can be combined and planned in advance. In short: the maintenance is carried out when it is necessary neither too early nor too late. Truck maintenance management. On request and in conjunction with FleetBoard the Mercedes-Benz truck maintenance management is available. With this feature maintenance and wear data are transmitted on a regular basis from the vehicle to the service partner selected by you, then recorded online without the need for the vehicles to come to the workshop. All this occurs via the FleetBoard telematics in the Arocs. This brings with it
Individual maintenance intervals. The electronic maintenance system in the Arocs is guided by the actual wear rather than the mileage meaning that the reserve power in the fuels and lubricants can be used to the full and maintenance work sensibly combined
36
the advantage that the vehicles maintenance and wear potential can be optimally exploited, any maintenance jobs that are due to be carried out can be combined and the appointments for them organised by the Mercedes-Benz workshop in consultation with you. This cuts the maintenance costs and increases the vehicle uptime. Advantages which you can extend even further with the mobility services from Mercedes-Benz CharterWay. CharterWay Service Complete. In order to reduce costs from day one, the CharterWay Service Complete contract can provide a full service package that includes safeguarding all vehicle parts/equipment, as well as the replacement,
repair and maintenance of all wear parts. And all for attractive, precisely calculated monthly payments that are no higher compared with service contracts involving comparable EuroV predecessor models.

Repair- and maintenance-friendly design. Repair and maintenance work on the Arocs can be carried out particularly quickly and inexpensively. This is possible because, as early as the design stage, 3D simulations are used to test where optimisation was required and the corresponding improvements were implemented. For you can never completely rule out the possibility that a component might break in the harsh conditions encountered in construction transport. What you can rule out, though, is that maintenance and repair will be time- and cost-intensive
37
Impressive ease of body mounting. With a design that allows straightforward body mounting, the Arocs provides an ideal basis for application-matched body solutions for all applications in construction transport. All ex factory and with no compromises. The Mercedes-Benz Bodybuilder Portal provides a quick and easy means of finding all the necessary data and information. For the efficient assembly of the body the frame has a hole pattern with a 50mm grid, standardised shackles, consoles and attachment fixtures. Clearances defined at the factory, for example for crane supports, stowage boxes or equipment, the seamless, optimised wheelbase range and selectable frame overhangs reduce the need for subsequent conversion work. In addition to this, pre-installations such as those for crane attachment plates, hydraulic oil tanks and actuating valves for dumper or crane control reduce the mounting time. But the optimum body/equipment solutions for the Arocs also include a wide range of PTOs for the use of the most varied of pumps and equipment. Features which ensure faultless connections include easily accessible pneumatic extensions. For linking the body electrics and electronics, easily accessible joints such as the bodybuilder

Top workers for top jobs. The Arocs Loader and the Arocs Grounder
For a particularly high payload and for extreme loads. With the Arocs Loader and the Arocs Grounder we can now place at your disposal construction specialists which excel themselves where it matters: on the construction site. And in the accounts department.
Sector-specific vehicle concepts. With the new Arocs, construction transport is more efficient than ever before. In order to live up to this standard to an even greater extent even when it comes to payload-sensitive applications such as those involving dump semitrailers and concrete mixers and when working in difficult conditions, we have developed the Arocs Loader 1) and the Arocs Grounder 1). In the case of the Arocs Loader all the available options regarding saving the vehicles unladen weight were checked and wherever it made technical sense implemented in a targeted manner. The result: payload-optimised 4x2 semitrailer tractors which are amongst the lightest in construction transport. And 8x4/4 concrete mixers with a perm. GVW of 32t, with which thanks to a particularly low unladen weight of 9250kg maximum you can deliver 8m3 of ready-mixed concrete on every journey. That pays off. Right from day one.
The Arocs Grounder is designed for extreme applications in harsh conditions. In other words: through a multitude of technical measures it is even more robust and offers particularly high stability and loadability. All in all, in the Arocs Loader and the Arocs Grounder you have at your disposal two top workers able to enhance efficiency in construction transport. The best way to obtain more information and your own personal vehicle configu ration is to speak to your authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer.

Arocs Loader 1). Steel and ideas for more payload. With the Arocs Loader, 4x2 semitrailer tractors and 8x4/4 concrete mixers are entering the construction site, and they impress not only with their robustness but also with their low consumption and their particularly high payload. In the case of the concrete mixer this means that despite the significantly more weight-intensive EuroVI technology, the Arocs Loader is so light that with the combination of the 8x4/4 chassis and 9m3 drum you can comfortably take 8m3 of ready-mixed concrete with you. And that pays and it pays more with every journey you make. To ensure the high payload of the Arocs Loader semitrailer tractors there is a whole series of technical measures for example the weight-reduced windscreen and the widened rear axle with single tyres. To facilitate optimum flexibility for you when it comes to the vehicle configuration, certain measures can also be de-selected . As part of the standard specification, for instance, the Arocs Loader 8x4/4 concrete mixer with the ClassicSpace S-cab arrives at the construction site with a 170mm high engine tunnel, 7.7l displacement and an output of 235kW (320hp). For optimum payload its equipment includes
two specially developed, widened hypoid rear axles for single tyres and 385/65 R22.5 wide-base tyres. Alongside the reduction of weight, this combination also supports particularly low consumption. On request the Arocs Loader concrete mixer can be equipped with an M-cab. In addition, for the Arocs Loader semitrailer tractors, 2300mm wide L-cabs are available. Also on offer: the EuroVI engines in the 10.7l displacement class they can be selected in four output levels with up to 315kW (428hp). But the fact that the Arocs Loader tractor units and concrete mixers are among the lightest in construction transport does not mean that you have to relinquish the hallmark robustness. For only those who take that extra payload to its destination reliably can also take more efficiency to the construction site. As the Arocs Loader does.
Payload-optimised tyre concepts. For transporting 8m3 of ready-mixed concrete the Arocs 8x4/4 concrete mixer is equipped with two widened hypoid rear axles for single tyres and particularly high-load-capacity 385/65R22.5 wide-base tyres.

Arocs Grounder 1). Extreme applications require extreme solutions. Like the Arocs Grounder. With these semitrailer tractors, rigid vehicles, concrete mixers and dump trucks configured ex factory for particularly heavy-duty applications you are far ahead when it comes to stability and loadability. The basis for this is the extremely stable frame made of cold formed, high-strength fine-grained steel, which has a longitudinal member thickness of 9mm. For very high stability and good ride comfort even in extreme off-road terrain Arocs Grounder models are fitted at the front and rear axle with robust multi-leaf parabolic springs with a hard spring characteristic 2). At the rear axles, specially tuned shock absorbers and stabilisers are used for even more loadability and for more stable handling even in the case of one-sided loads. High loadability and robustness also characterise the axles. At the front a proven axle with an axle load of 7.5t and high ground clearance is used as standard. For heavy-duty applications front axles with an axle load of up to 9t are optionally available. For the rear axles, planetary axles with an axle load of up to 16t are available along with their particularly robust, durable design, their characteristic
features also include their high ground clearance. Also designed for extreme applications: the wheels and tyres. Depending on the vehicle model variant and the planned application the Arocs is equipped with robust and very durable steep-shoulder rims or with optionally available wide-base rims 2) and obligatory for these applications robust tyres with especially high load-carrying capacity. So that you even stay on track where there are not yet any tracks. The Arocs Grounder.

Efficiency-enhancing services. As far as were concerned, service means one thing above all: providing you with strong support in meeting your daily targets in construction transport: all over Europe, round the clock and in a particularly economical way. In concrete terms you have a huge variety to choose from: our dense pan-European network of workshops, for example, the efficient parts logistics centres, plus the tried-and-trusted Mercedes-Benz Service24h with Telediagnosis 1). The telematics solution FleetBoard and mobility solutions provider Mercedes-Benz CharterWay, as well as attractive leasing, financing and insurance solutions from Mercedes-Benz Financial Services are further service modules which enhance your profitability when out on the road and which can be tailored to the requirements in your fleet. Incidentally, with Mercedes-Benz Custom Tailored Trucks you have at your disposal a competent partner for made-tomeasure vehicle conversions.
Our service portfolio also includes the MercedesServiceCard and, for example, the Mercedes-Benz DriverTraining courses 2), where not only a particularly fuel-saving and thus economical driving style is taught, but where the participants also learn about a safe way of driving. At the Application Information Centre (BIC) in Wrth you can receive in-depth advice and you can drive, test and compare around 180 vehicles fully fitted with bodies, plus find out about our extensive services. And there is another member of our service family at your disposal in the form of TruckStore, the Mercedes-Benz partner for used vehicles, which satisfies the most discerning requirements. Incidentally, this is an ambition which the wide range of accessories for the new Arocs also lives up to in every respect. As you can see, we do everything we possibly can to ensure that you really feel at home in the new Arocs, that you stay mobile and that you are always particularly economical when out on the road.

FleetBoard vehicle and transport management. With FleetBoard the new Arocs offers you the optimum prerequisites for being even more profitable when out on the road. FleetBoard vehicle management reduces fuel costs and wear and thus facilitates increased vehicle uptime. With the FleetBoard maintenance prognosis, workshop time for your vehicles is planned in advance. The maintenance scope can be communicated in good time from the vehicle to the workshop and maintenance appointments can be pooled and planned in advance. In short: unnecessary downtimes and costs are avoided. The FleetBoard driving analysis facilitates an objective evaluation of driving style, thereby providing the basis for driving in a more fuel-efficient manner and achieving a lasting reduction in fuel consumption. Experience has shown that fuel consumption can quickly be reduced by around 5% to as much as 15%. Another fact worth noting is that sustained FleetBoard support and training prevents drivers from falling back into their old driving habits, which would increase consumption again. To achieve this FleetBoard offers driver training courses on an economical driving style.
Whats more, drivers continuously receive tips for opti mising their driving style while they are at the wheel from the FleetBoard EcoSupport system. Through the use of additional FleetBoard services such as transport management or time management further cost reductions are possible. FleetBoard Logistics Management serves to make logistics processes more efficient. The basis for this is the DispoPilot. guide. It can be permanently installed in the cab and has a screen measuring 185x120x25.5mm (WxHxD). This allows order data to be sent to the cab in real time, addresses to be transferred directly to the truck navigation system, and trips to be managed extremely efficiently. In this way, the goods get to their destination faster and the driver is back at the depot earlier. Plus: you are kept fully up to date with the vehicle, trip and order status at all times.
FleetBoard data show that up to 6l/100km can be saved while at the same time improving driving scores by 2 points
